An investigation is rarely limited to one region or city. In order to fully analyze all the evidence and compile a complete picture of the crime, a thorough investigation is necessary.
Periodically, the investigation of the crime requires the investigator to take certain actions related to the process outside the area in which the investigation is being conducted. If such a need arises for conducting search activities in another area, the investigator has the authority to entrust this to the inquiry body or to conduct actions on his own. In the event that the implementation of activities is entrusted to the authorities, they must respond within a period not exceeding 10 days from the moment of the order.
Such an appeal by the investigator to another district with a request for search or other investigative actions is called a separate order of the investigator.
goal
The purpose of a separate assignment involves the separation of actions between several investigators working on the case in order to most effectively reduce the time for investigation and sentencing.
The investigator has the authority to instruct other bodies of inquiry to conduct search and investigative actions. Instructions must be provided in writing.
Legal settlement
The law does not establish which particular investigative or investigative actions must be carried out personally by the investigator, what is working on the case, and which may be entrusted to the inquiry bodies in another district or another investigator.
The law also does not regulate the procedural form, direction, procedure for preparing a separate order.
When sending the order, the investigator takes into account that it is impossible to entrust the execution of procedural acts in criminal cases. An investigator who is investigating a criminal case is required to independently indict, and also interrogate the accused, conduct interrogations, inspections of the scene of the incident, and familiarize the suspect with all the materials in the case.
In addition, the investigator should not entrust the interrogation of eyewitnesses to the crime, face-to-face confrontations with other investigators.
It is also impossible to entrust clarification of issues that can provide important information about the case. There may be exceptions, but this issue is being resolved very scrupulously.
Order Groups
Separate instructions of the head of the investigation can be divided conditionally into several groups. They have in themselves common signs and characteristics that affect their formation.
The following groups are distinguished:
- instructions for the collection and verification of evidence;
- instructions on the implementation of the rights of some participants in the criminal investigation process;
- Separate instructions on the adoption of measures of procedural coercion;
- instructions on the production of search actions;
- instructions related to the fulfillment of the procedural obligation regarding the investigator taking measures to eliminate and identify the conditions and causes that contributed to the commission of the crime.
Request submission
A separate order must be executed in writing by a special letter. This appeal consists of three parts.
In the first part, the executor and the addressee of the order are indicated. A letter is sent immediately to the prosecutor's office or police station in the area or city where the investigation will be necessary. Such an indication is mandatory for authorities.
The second part, which is descriptive, sets out the circumstances of the case to the extent necessary for high-quality execution of the order. It is important to consider that the narrative is determined by the general nature of the case. Be sure to clearly and clearly sets out the plot. They indicate when a criminal case has been opened, if there are suspected persons in custody, the period of arrest is indicated. For the executor of the assignment, such data acts as a disciplining measure that stimulates the fulfillment of the assignment in a quality manner.

Considering the sample of a separate order, it should be noted that the dates when the order is sent must be indicated, the names of the responsible persons are listed and the name of the body that gives the order is indicated.

Reality
Only in the film "Separate errand" Arnautov, the main character, quickly and easily fulfills the errand.
In reality, the investigation often encounters the unfair execution of individual instructions, which entails delays in legal proceedings.
